Who in the world is Carmen Robinson?

She's running for mayor. The interview with Sheldon Ingram makes her sound like an intelligent, viable candidate for mayor. At the end Sheldon points out that name recognition and political qualifications may be an issue. Let me just say that if Matt at Pittsburgh Hoagie is beating the P-G and Trib to a story on you, you're not on peoples radar. That's not a dig on Matt, I'd feel the same way if I had written the post.

In the two minutes on KDKA she seemed like the kind of person I'd vote for, but unfortunately that's all going to get lost in the fray. Luke has way too much money and local sway for anyone other then a respected, revered, qualified and spotless local to come anywhere close.

THE Blog Roll

For people who are new to the burghosphere or don't want to mess around with finding blogs and configuring Google Reader, I have spent sometime configuring my blog roll to be what I believe to be a great cross section of the available Pittsburgh Blogs. I have been getting my pittsburgh news and entertainment almost exclusively from blogs for over a year now, so I can assure you the list below is well vetted.

Each of the categories of blogs below is sorted by the most recently published, so you can use my blog (and the open in new tab or new window function) to filter through the new posts of the last couple days.

As always, I am happy to take suggestions for blogs to add to the list below.
